The SEI helps advance software engineering principles and practices and serves as a national resource in software engineering, computer security, and process improvement. The SEI works closely with defense and government organizations, industry, and academia to continually improve software-intensive systems. Its core purpose is to help organizations improve their software engineering capabilities and develop or acquire the right software, defect free, within budget and on time, every time.

Each certificate requires the candidate to work through a carefully designed curriculum. Requirements differ between technical areas and programs. All certificate programs must be completed within two years, and an SEI Professional Certificate does not expire.

SEI Professional Certificate holders receive an official Certificate from the SEI and the option of having their name and accomplishment published on the SEI website.

Join the many software and engineering professionals who have benefited not only from the skills they acquire, but also from the recognition of their continuing education and professional development.

Training courses provided by the SEI are not academic courses for academic credit toward a degree. Any certificates provided are evidence of the completion of the courses and are not official academic credentials.
